Re: Is LOVE good enough?
Yes, but in the same way that your graphics are simple but competent, the code must be handled in a simple but competent manner. With your minimal coding experience, don't expect to be able to make a game with the same amount of polish as your art. You can, however, make a very effective demo. Chara...

Re: Drawing an Image FROM and Image
It's not out yet, but if you're running Windows, you can get nightly builds here:
http://love2d.org/builds/
Beware that stuff which works fine on the wiki/forums for 0.7.2 might fail horribly under 0.8.0.
